IngressMosaik
in General
Unfortunately the founders of the most useful website (https://www.ingressmosaic.com) to find interesting places to go based on the banners that were available at that place, decided to call it a day.
This website was for me personally always a source to find new places to go play Ingress.
Let's thank the people involved for their hard work keeping this project going for so long!
It will definitely be missed, so @NianticBrian will Niantic pick this up and provide us with information about banners in a similar fashion, such that we can all enjoy exploring again?

just discovered that https://ingressmosaik.com/ has been retired. 😪
there was and is no more nice and easy way to find missions anymore
NOOOO!! 😥
So sad to see it go without heads up☹️ i hope alternative will pop up...
I used this page every time I was traveling to a place, just to find one nice banner to "bring back home". Hope to see a v2 emerging one way or the other.
Big part of my play-planning for Anomalies and Mission Days. Stuff that actually drove ticket and merch sales for Niantic. It'd be great if Nia picked this up or replaced it.
One of the best community driven sites out there. It was essential for planning trips to new cites, FS’s and leaving reviews to mission / banner creators.
Fingers crossed the community won’t let it die.
This is going to be more of an whole-player base effort than XF Shards.
I really hope Niantic will create a site, similar to ingressmosaic. The info if a mosaic is live or not is already givenin their DB, also data about mission creators.
I wanted to use it for this weekend to plan my Kinect capsule walk.
After ingressmosaik.com is shut down Niantic should make an official Version.
For many Agents this was the Main Page to Plan travels and activitys.
This is a mayor loss for ingress and the whole community
One of the most attractive and interesting aspects of ingress for a lot of players is to explore new cities, town and villages. IM was very good and very popular. Thanks to all who were involved. But it would be a shame to loose that aspect of ingress.
A very sad message for the entire community. It was one of the most visited sites by me, when I was planning a further or closer trip... At this point I am sending a huge „thank you” to the creators of the site.
Oh man. This just destroyed a huge part of travelling while playing ingress for me. I seriously hope an alternative comes up, sooner rather than later.
I think the whole Ingress community is saddened by this happening so sudden.
As the original Mosiac TG group had well over 790 members, that were using the group at least to communicate if banners on the site needed to go offline, corrections and such. And many players using the site for their banner planning. There was no other way to see wich banners are complete (not via NIA/app at least) in an easy way.
Please @NianticBrian it would be awesome if NIA could take over this amazing site, and continue the easy access to bannermissions, it is used by so many players every day.
I am deeply touched by this, even with its limitations, it was such a great tool. Niantic should step up and not only rework the mission tool but update it so we can publish directly from that side
Works is already being made on a new site, there is TG group called Ingressmosaik relaunch currently over 400 members and climbing fast. Shame the original owner didnt give headsup to transer ownership to people ready to involve.
That's bad news... Finding missions, and certainly banners, are a pain in the scanner on intel 🤔
As has been mentioned in Telegram, Pokémon GO has “routes” coming soon which seem to be their version of missions so this may have also played a part in it if Niantic wants to look to do something official of their own similar to IM.
Are the data from Ingressmosaik available for the new group?
RIP Ingress mosiak
@NianticAndrew we need something similar to this for missions please ASAP!
No, it seems the owner of IM is not interested sharing that.. but who knows what happens....
What is known:
-The creator has decided due to Real Life and shifts in interests to stop the Website ingressmosaik.com
-He has not determined how to proceed with the data he has stored
-We are in contact with him to find a way on relaunching the old site

Ingress Mosaics one way of seeing beautiful places in other parts of the world through Ingress

Ouch..
Agreed. I just used Ingress Mosaik to plan my Spring Break agenda and Summer isn’t far away. We need a solid alternative.
This is such sad news. Since started playing Ingress, IM has been used as part of my holiday planning to fit some mission banners in.
Fingers crossed a new site can be made, or even better if NIA can step in and step up for this.
RIP IM. Thanks for all the fun and exploring in foreign countries you helped me to have.

What is needed from Niantic in order to allow the community to develop an alternative or continue the existing project is a guarantee that there will be no legal repercussions for anyone who collects and publishes information on portals and missions for the purpose of creating a catalogue of available mission banners.
I would like to thank the people who have volunteered to run the Site for the 60,000 missions around the world so far.
It was an unofficial Site, but everyone around the world enjoyed it.
I hope that in the future, Niantic will create, operate and maintain a new Mission Banner Site.
I also already volunteered in the Google sheet to help whereever i can, but the only right way would be an official Page from niantic. Maybe an addon to the missioncreator.
IM was an invaluable tool. I just used it yesterday in fact. Thanks for all the hard work that went into it.
